Why Professional Animal Control?
Wildlife intrusion continues to be a major problem for households in Virginia and other states. Even for neighborhoods
that have domesticated animals like dogs or cats, presence of non-domesticated animals like snakes, raccoons or
squirrels can be quite disturbing. House occupants often try to remove these animals themselves. This poses a threat
both to the house members and the animals.
Whenever an animal is seen inside the house or
neighborhood, it is advisable to call up a professional wildlife
removal service straight away. The company will immediately
send removal experts and the animal will be taken far away
from the house. Here are some pointers as to why people
should always call up wildlife removal when they find wild
animals near or in their houses.

removal experts are also equipped with the right tools to evacuate animals. Based on the report of the animal
received by the company, experts bring all necessary professional equipment with them. The equipment includes
everything including animal restraints, traps and transport cages. This facilitates minimal human contact with wild
animals.
License
One of the most important reasons of hiring a professional wildlife removal company is that they are authorized to
remove animals from houses. Good companies will acquire appropriate state and local licenses as well as
insurance.This ensures that there is no legal entanglement surrounding the animal removal made by the company.
Proper licenses are also indicative of quality services.

The above points clearly depict the need for calling on a
professional animal rescue company whenever there is
